I love this company. They create great events like Alchemy Breakthrough, and then they remove them from the game entirely. HSR, for example, has permanent events, but our beloved company probably doesn't think they need them here, so it's right that they're removing them, right?
Within the company, different people are responsible for Genshin and Honkai. This explains the differences
